Cette thèse est dédiée à l'étude des espaces de modules de fibrés sur une courbe algébrique et lisse sur le corps des nombres complexes.  Le texte est composé de deux parties : Dans la première partie, je m'intéresse à la géométrie liée aux classifications de fibrés quasi-paraboliques de rang 2 sur une courbe elliptique 2-pointée, à isomorphisme près. Les notions d'indécomposabilité, simplicité et stabilité de fibrés donnent lieu à des espaces de modules qui classifient ces objets.  La structure projective de ces espaces est décrite explicitement, et on prouve un théorème de type Torelli qui permet de retrouver la courbe elliptique 2-pointée.  Cet espace de modules est aussi mis en relation avec l'espace de modules de fibrés quasi-paraboliques sur une courbe rationnelle 5-pointée, qui apparaît naturellement comme revêtement double de l'espace de modules de fibrés quasi-paraboliques sur la courbe elliptique 2-pointée. Finalement, on démontre explicitement la modularité des automorphismes de cet espace de modules. Dans la deuxième partie, j'étudie l'espace de modules de fibrés semistables de rang 2 et déterminant trivial sur une courbe hyperelliptique. Plus précisément, je m'intéresse à l'application naturelle donnée par le fibré déterminant, générateur du groupe de Picard de cet espace de modules. Cette application  s'identifie à l'application theta, qui est de degré 2 dans notre cas. On définit une fibration de cet espace de modules vers un espace projective dont la fibre générique est birationnelle à l'espace de modules de courbes rationnelles 2g-épointées, et on décrit la restriction de theta aux fibres de cette fibration. On montre que cette restriction est, à une transformation birationnelle près, une projection osculatoire centrée en un point. En utilisant une description due à Kumar, on démontre que la restriction de l'application theta à cette fibration ramifie sur la variété de Kummer d'une certaine courbe hyperelliptique de genre g – 1. / This thesis is devoted to the study of moduli spaces of vector bundles over a smooth algebraic curve over field of complex numbers. The text consist of two main parts : In the first part, I investigate the geometry related to the classifications of rank 2 quasi-parabolic vector bundles over a 2-pointed elliptic curves, modulo isomorphism. The notions of indecomposability, simplicity and stability give rise to the corresponding moduli spaces classifying these objects. The projective structure of these spaces is explicitely described, and we prove a Torelli theorem that allow us to recover the 2-pointed elliptic curve. I also explore the relation with the moduli space of quasi-parabolic vector bundles over a 5-pointed rational curve, appearing naturally as a double cover of the moduli space of quasi-parabolic vector bundles over the 2-pointed elliptic curve. Finally, we show explicitely the modularity of the automorphisms of this moduli space. In the second part, I study the moduli space of semistable rank 2 vector bundles with trivial determinant over a hyperelliptic curve C. More precisely, I am interested in the natural map induced by the determinant line bundle, generator of the Picard group of this moduli space. This map is identified with the theta map, which is of degree 2 in our case. We define a fibration from this moduli space to a projective space whose generic fiber is birational to the moduli space of 2g-pointed rational curves, and we describe the restriction of the map theta to the fibers of this fibration. We show that this restriction is, up to a birational map, an osculating projection centered on a point. By using a description due to Kumar, we show that the restriction of the map theta to this fibration ramifies over the Kummer variety of a certain hyperelliptic curve of genus g - 1.

O objetivo desse trabalho é fazer uma enumeração dos fibrados planos reais sobre algumas superfícies, como por exemplo, a esfera e o g-toro. Entre outras ferramentas, utilizamos a co-homologia das superfícies, com coeficientes locais, e também o método desenvolvido por Larmore para contar classes de homotopia de levantamento de funções. / The aim of this work is enumerate the plane bundles over some surfaces, for example the sphere and the g-torus. Among other tools we used cohomology of the surfaces with local coefficients and also the method developed by Larmore to count homotopy classes of lifting of functions.

Ce mémoire porte sur quelques éléments de la théorie des fibrés symplectiques et leurs usages en étudiant la géométrie hoferienne sur le groupe de difféomorphismes hamiltoniens. En particulier en assumant un certain confort avec les notions de base de la géométrie différentielle et de la topologie algébrique on développe dans le premier chapitre les rudiments nécessaires de la théorie des G-fibrés et, dans la deuxième, tous les faits nécessaires de la topologie symplectique et les difféomorphismes hamiltoniens pour comprendre la théorie de base des fibrés symplectiques, à voir le morphisme de flux et ses liens aux isotopies hamiltoniennes. Le troisième chapitre présente les fondements des fibrés symplectiques se conclu en construisant la forme de couplage dans un langage invariant et en présentant la caractérisation des fibrés symplectiques, dont le groupe de structure réduit au groupe hamiltonien. Le mémoire se termine en présentant quelques applications des fibrés hamiltoniens à la géométrie de Hofer, en particulier une caractérisation de la partie positive de la norme de Hofer d'un lacet hamiltonien en termes du K-aire du fibré au-dessus de la sphère associé et une démonstration de la non-dégénérescence de la norme de Hofer pour des variétés symplectiques fermées. / This thesis presents a reasonably complete account of the elements theory of symplectic and Hamiltonian fibrations. We assume a familiarity and comfort with the basic notions of differential geometry and algebraic topology but little else. Proceeding from this, the first chapter develops the necessary notions from the theory of fiber bundles and G-fiber bundles, while the second chapter develops all the notions and theorems required to understand the later theory of symplectic fibrations. Most notably the second chapter includes a detailed account of the classical relationship between the flux homomorphism and Hamiltonian isotopies. The third chapter is where we develop the theory of symplectic and locally Hamiltonian fiber bundles, and in particular give an invariant construction of the coupling form on a symplectic fibration admitting an extension class. the third chapter ends with a proof of a structure theorem characterizing those symplectic fibrations for which the structure group reduces to the Hamiltonian group. In the final chapter, we present some applications of the theory of Hamiltonian fibrations by the way of characterizing the positive part of the Hofer norm of a Hamiltonian loop as the K-area of its associated Hamiltonian bundle over the sphere, and we finish by giving a proof of the non-degeneracy of the Hofer norm for closed symplectic manifolds.

In a nuclear fuel cask, the heat generating spent fuel rods are packed in a housing and the resulting bundle is placed inside a cask of thick outer shell made of materials like lead or concrete. The cask presents a wide variation in geometrical dimensions ranging from the diameter of the rods to the diameter of the cask. To make the problem tractable, first the heat generating rod bundle alone is considered for analysis and the effective thermal conductance of the bundle is correlated in terms of the relevant parameters. In the second part, the bundle is represented as a solid of equivalent thermal conductance and the attention is focused on the modelling of the cask. The first part, dealing with the effective thermal conductance is solved using Fluent software, considering coupled conduction, natural convection and surface radiation in the heat generating rod bundle encased in a hexagonal sheath. Helium, argon, air and nitrogen are considered as working media inside the bundle. A correlation is obtained for the critical Rayleigh number which signifies the onset of natural convection. A correlation is also developed for the effective thermal conductance of the bundle, considering all the modes of transport, in terms of the maximum temperature in the rod bundle, pitch-to-diameter ratio, bundle dimension (or number of rods), heat generation rate and the sheath temperature. The correlation covers pitch-to-diameter ratios in the range 1.1-2, number of rods ranging from 19 to 217 and the heat generation rates encountered in practical applications. The second part deals with the heat transfer modeling of the cask with the bundle represented as a solid of effective (or equivalent) thermal conductance. The mathematical model describes two-dimensional conjugate natural convection and its interaction with surface radiation in the cask. Both Boussinesq and non-Boussinesq formulations have been considered for convection. Numerical solutions are obtained on a staggered mesh with a pressure correction method using a custom-made Fortran code. The surface radiation is coupled to the conduction and convection at the solid-fluid interfaces. Steady-state results are obtained using time-marching. Results for various quantities of interest, namely, the flow and temperature distributions, Nusselt numbers, and interface temperatures, are presented. The Grashof number based on the volumetric heat generation and gap width is varied from 105 to 5 ×109. The emissivities of the interfaces are varied from 0.2-0.8 for the radiative calculations. The solid-to-fluid thermal conductivity ratio for the inner cylinder is varied in the range 5-20 in the parametric studies. Simulations are also performed with thermal conductivity calculated in an iterative manner from bundle parameters. The dimensionless outer wall conductivity ratio is chosen to correspond to cask walls made of lead or concrete. The dimensionless thickness (with respect to gap width) of the outer shell is in the range of 0.0825-1, while the inner cylinder dimensionless radius is 0.2. Air is the working medium in the cask for which the Prandtl number is 0.71. Correlations are obtained for the average temperatures and Nusselt numbers at the inner interface in terms of the parameters. The radiation heat transfer is found to contribute significantly to the heat dissipation.

For to study such properties we used the ab initio method employing density functional theory in the approach of the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange and correlation terms. All the simulations were performed using the SIESTA code. In the analysis of all results we observed that the traverse circular section of the nanotubos suffers a structural modification when the applied pressure around 1 GPa both system. Another structural change observed, both systems, appears around 10 GPa. The analysis the electronic properties was accomplished through the bands structure, where it was observed that the two systems considered are semiconductors, but with reduction in the energy gap. The analysis of the population of Mülliken, in the case of the doped system with H2SO4 molecule, shows that the nanotubes transfer charge to H2SO4 molecule, and the transference increases with pressure. / No presente trabalho estudamos as propriedades estruturais e eletrônicas de bundles de nanotubos de BN de dupla camada (10; 0)@(17; 0) sem intercalação e intercalados com a molécula H2SO4, submetidos à variação de pressão hidrostática. Para estudar tais propriedades usamos o método ab initio, baseado na teoria do funcional da densidade e da aproximação do gradiente generalizado para o termo de troca e correlação. Para realizar essas simulações utilizamos o código SIESTA. Realizamos a análise de todos os resultados obtidos e observamos que a seção transversal circular dos nanotubos sofre uma modificação geométrica quando a pressão aplicada é em torno de 1 GPa, tanto no sistema sem dopagem como no sistema dopado. Outra mudança estrutural observada, em ambos os sistemas, ocorre em torno de 10 GPa. A análise das propriedades eletrônicas foi realizada através da estrutura de bandas e foi observado que os dois sistemas considerados permanecem semicondutores, mas com redução no gap de energia. A análise da população de Mülliken no caso do sistema dopado mostra que os nanotubos doam cargas para a molécula H2SO4 e a quantidade de carga doada pelo tubo aumenta conforme a pressão aplicada aumenta.

To study such properties, we used the ab initio method employing density functional theory in the approach of the generalized gradient approximation. All the simulations were performed using of the siesta code. The obtained results showed that the circular cross section of each one of the studied bundles undergoes a deformation (elliptic) when applied pressure reaches the value of P > 1,0 GPa for the bundle (16,0), P > 2,0 GPa for the bundle (12,0) and for values greater then 6,5 GPa for the bundle (8,0). For each pressure interval it was calculated the percent relative volume, cohesive energy, modes of vibrations and the band structures. The analysis of the electronic properties, through the band structures, indicates that the characteristics semiconducting of boron nitride nanotubes is preserved during the pressure increasing. / Neste trabalho foram estudadas as propriedades eletrõnicas, vibracionais e estruturais de bundles de nanotubos de nitreto de boro (16,0), (12,0) e (8,0) submetidos à variação de pressão hidrostástica. Para estudar tais propriedades, utilizamos o método ab initio com uso da teoria do funcional da densidade na aproximação do gradiente generalizado. Todas simulações foram realizadas com a utilização do código siesta. Com os resultados encontrados foi observado que a seção transversal circular de cada um dos bundles estudados sofre uma deformação (elíptica) quando a pressão aplicada atinge o valor de P > 1,0 GPa para o bundles (16,0), P > 2,0 GPa para o bundles (12,0) e P > 6,5 GPa para os bundles (8,0). Para cada intervalo de pressão aplicada calculamos o percentual do volume relativo, energia coesiva, modos vibracionais e a estrutura de bandas. A análise das propriedades eletrônicas, através da estrutura de bandas, indica que as características semicondutoras dos nanotubos de nitreto de boro são preservadas durante o aumento da pressão.

In this thesis we study some questions related to vector bundles over hypersurfaces. More precisely, for hypersurfaces of dimension ≥ 2, we study the extension problem of vector bundles. We find some cohomological conditions under which a vector bundle over an ample divisor of non-singular projective variety, extends as a vector bundle to an open set containing that ample divisor. Our method is to follow the general Groethendieck-Lefschetz theory by showing that a vector bundle extension exists over various thickenings of the ample divisor. For vector bundles of rank > 1, we find two separate cohomological conditions on vector bundles which shows the extension to an open set containing the ample divisor. For the case of line bundles, our method unifies and recovers the generalized Noether-Lefschetz theorems by Joshi and Ravindra-Srinivas. In the last part of the thesis, we make a specific study of vector bundles over elliptic curve.
